        "text": "The type of renovation depends heavily on whether you target short-term (e.g., vacation rentals) or long-term tenants. Short-term rentals often benefit from more aesthetically pleasing, 'instagrammable' designs, higher-end finishes, and amenities that enhance a guest's experience, as they can command higher nightly rates. Long-term rentals typically prioritize durability, low maintenance, and functionality, with a focus on practical, neutral designs that appeal to a broader tenant base and withstand more wear and tear. Your market research should guide this decision.",
